Rare Drams imports Rare Single Cask Whiskies from Scotland - we represent Douglas Laing, one of the Oldest and most Respected Independent Blenders & Bottlers in Scotland. Single Cask Malt Whisky is the purest form of Scotch Whisky available.
All of our Drams are single cask - single malts from virtually any distillery you can think of (see map). From the well known Laphroaig and Macallan to the lesser known Royal Lochnagar right down to the "Lost Distilleries" such as Port Ellen, Littlemill and Rosebank.
The scotch, resting dormant in the cask is bottled for your pleasure without any changes to the "amber nectar" inside.This provides a unique taste in every cask produced.
Only 5% of all casks are good enough to be used as single cask bottlings.
Casks hold limited quantities, ranging from 200 - 600 bottles,
when they are gone, they're gone !
What's in a cask? Scotch Tasting
Rare Drams believes in the unique DNA that exists in every cask. On October 25th you have the opportunity to sample this for yourself. Taste the difference between a distillery and single cask bottling.

Each bottle comes with it's own numbered certificate. Rich and golden color in the bottle, it carries an equally rich and full flavoured Islay nose with balanced smoke and coastal aromas of soft tar, iodine, rock pools, seaweed and "Arbroath Smokies". The palate essentailly replicates the nose with expected Islay phenolic traits initally but displays incredibly sweet bonfire ashes later. The finish is long, smokey, still oceanic and rather sweet.
**the bottle shown is not Laphroaig however packaging is identical**
